The underwater environment presents an interesting laboratory condition for the simulation and validation of manned space operations. Similarities between sea and space include both internal and external strains for the person under consideration. Some of the arguments are illustrated by video sequences comparing astronauts' activities during underwater training, parabola flight, and space mission. It is concluded that both basic training and mission specific simulation underwater is a valuable tool for the preparation of actual manned space projects.
